“There should be no letdown. We all know Ginebra is ‘never say die,’ that has always been their mantra. You saw they did not give up,” said Meralco head coach Luigi Trillo. A pair of missed free throws from Meralco forward Alvin Pasaol kept the comeback door ajar for Ginebra, but Tenorio missed a long three-pointer and David Murrell put too much force on his putback as the Bolts escaped with the victory.

Allein Maliksi paced Meralco with 16 points, Chris Newsome finished with 14 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds, while Bong Quinto added 10 points and 4 rebounds.
